:      Yes; even version 9.1 is fairly buggy. It does not like RAM disk and 
: it is not reliable for copying DOS 3.3 files. Letting a program like this 
: mess with your hard disk is asking for trouble. About the only reason to 
: keep the last Copy ][+ is for doing file compares.

:      Naturally; however, Copy ][+ 8.3 is, still, very nice for moving 
: stuff around among DOS and ProDOS diskettes and RAM disk, especially if a 
: user does not want to boot System 6 with the 5.25" driver installed.

And Copy ][+ 5.x was unparalleled for DOS 3.3 work, even did a few things 
it's younger brothers / sisters never matched.
